Remember that song - part 4

Having played basketball in many different countries and in many different leagues, tournaments and competitions, I have heard a lot of national anthems in my time. There are some standouts, some bareable ones and some just plain 'ear bleedingly' bad ones.

I was lucky enough to spend a season playing in the New Zealand national league and in that time I heard their national anthem before every game. I grew to really love it and it actually fired me up for each game.

New Zealand will always be a special place to us and somewhere we would love to go back and visit one day. Hearing the New Zealand national anthem just takes me back to the times before games and still gives me goose bumps.

My number 1 anthem - 'God defend New Zealand'
